2. Basics of Fluid Flow • Types of flow – The type of flow depends on the manner in which the particles unite, the particles group themselves in a variety of ways e.g. regular or irregular. The type of flow is identified by the Reynolds number. Flow of an IDEAL FLUID – No Viscousity Flow of a REAL FLUID – Viscousity included • Laminar (low velocity, motion in layers) & • Turbulent Flow ( high velocity, chaotic motion) • Steady flow (conditions at any point remain constant, may differ from point to point) • Uniform Flow ( velocity is the same at any given point in the fluid) • Flow lines : Path lines, Stream lines and Streak lines • Straight line streamlines of moving particle- One dimensional flow (Flow in pipes) • Curve – Two dimensional flow (Flow over a spillway) • Streamlines represented in space – Three dimensional (flow in a river bed) • Motion of Fluid Particles • Lagrangian method • Eulerian method

3. Equation of continuity of a liquid flow: If an incompressible liquid us is continuously flowing through a pipe or a channel (whose cross-sectional area may or may not be constant) the quantity of liquid passing per second is the same at all sections. Questions • Water is flowing through a tapered pipe having end diameter of 150m and 50m respectively.

If the difference of pressure is 250 mm of mercury and the metre coefficient is 0.97, calculate the discharge of oil (specific gravity = 0.75) through the venturimeter

7. OPEN CHANNEL FLOW • General Definition: An open channel is a passage through which the water flows under the force of gravity and atmospheric pressure e.g. canals, sewers, aqauduct. It is also known as free-surface flow or gravity flow. The flow here is not due to pressure as in the case of pipe flow. Most open channel flow are turbulent flow and froude number is the relevant parameter here • Types of open channel flow • Natural streams and rivers • Artificial canals, flumes • Sewers, tunnels, partially full pipelines • Gutters Applications of artificial channels • Water power development • Irrigation • Water supply • Drainage • Flood control • Reynolds no. for pipes • Reynolds no. for open channels • Wetted perimeter: Length of cross-sectional border in contact with water. Length where friction acts. • Slopes in open channel flow

12. HYDRAULIC JUMP • Introduction : Local non-uniform flow phenomenon – supercritical flow going into subcritical. The shooting flow is an unstable type of flow and does not continue on the downstream side, the flow transform itself to the streaming flow by increasing its depth. The rise in water level which occurs during the transformation of the unstable shooting flow to the stable streaming flow is called hydraulic jump. • Depth relations • Energy losses • Types of jumps • Stilling basins

What would be the rise in water level? • Water flows at the rate of 1 m3/s along a channel of rectangular section of 1.6 m width. If a standing wave occurs at a point where upstream depth is 250 mm.
